About this map

The Wabash River carves a winding path along the Illinois-Indiana border, defining the eastern edge of this 2010 topographic record. In the center of the landscape, the town of Allendale serves as a hub for the surrounding rural territory, while Saint Francisville sits perched on the riverbank to the northeast. The area is notable for its high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Bunker Hill Cemetery, Oak Lawn Cemetery, and Allendale Cemetery, which provide essential clues for genealogical research.

Hydrological features dominate the drainage patterns, with Raccoon Creek and Big Slough meandering through agricultural fields toward the larger river. Unique local landmarks such as the Sand Barrens and Bloods Wood Crossing speak to the specific ecological and navigational history of the region. Transportation and infrastructure are anchored by the Mount Carmel Municipal Airport in the northwest and the Brevoort Levee along the river's Catfish Bend, illustrating the ongoing human effort to manage the fertile but flood-prone bottomlands.
